I guess i was incorrect in checking "satire". No more responses from the op. He must have truly left cr. In that case, i would like some of that gear also. Would be willing to battle others over that gear. Everyone is welcome to photograph or paint the battle if it gets physical and post the results on cr.

If only he would have waited, I've heard that on the 23rd Canon is going to announce their Oompa Loompa line, which features a team of shrunken down Oompa Loompas in each camera that can turn out a whole 0.03 fps of hand painted pictures!
And no batteries required! Each night the Oompa Loompas scavenge your house for food, what's more they polish the camera and give you a manicure while you sleep.

Congratulations, I think you just won the thread. If true, this could entice me back to Canon. My nails are a mess so the manicure would be most welcome.9VIII said:
Hmmm, I wonder how many carrots I will need to keep the Oompa Loompas in their preferred complexion.

I wish that was true. I've been married for over 33 years and I can never get her to pose anymore. Come to think of it, she wasn't very happy about it even in the beginning.....

Good luck to you in whatever path you choose. Have fun with Nikon service if you choose that manufacturer ;D

If you're going to switch systems . . . go with something more, modular, say, from a company in Denmark?

even though this is a bit of a joke post, it is not such a silly idea. I mainly use photos for reference in paintings and other artistic pursuits, but if i am photographing a subject or a scene i really want to paint, i will always do a sketch, becuase my eye works differently to a camera, and no amount of technology is gonna beat me writing down the colours in the margin of a sketchbook that i see with my eye.
recently i saw the Lucien freud painting exhibition, and the angle of view created from looking is so much more complex than what a camera comes up with, becuase he is looking at things with all focal lengths at all times (or something arty like that) then transferring that information through his brain and out of his hand.
for me a painting will always beat a photo if executed by a good artist.

As some have noted, this is a humor post. I am hoping that few posters who seemed to take it seriously were just joining in the fun. For the humor deficient, I am parodying the trolls who feel the need to jump into any new equipment thread and declare that they are done with Canon for good unless Canon comes out with a gigapixel camera for fifty bucks in the next thirty minutes.
I actually came up with the concept because I was once afflicted with a number of audiophile acquaintances who could (and did) go on for hours about how their $200 speaker wire made music so much more lifelike than that plebeian $100 speaker wire and that MP3s were the work of the devil. So I created a post saying how recorded music is passe an that the true music aficionado has a strolling chamber orchestra and chorale that follows them around. I figured this would be the visual equivalent.
